I knew something had happened on the Motorway, as there were long queues through Hedge End this morning. I walked down St Johns Road faster than the traffic was moving, though it was moving so not completely gridlocked..

I bet this situation (which happens quite often) could be improved by easing some of the old traffic calming measures.

Re-opening the top section of Botley Road for instance, past Hamble Motors & the Ambulance station. That’s not such an issue now, as there’s a 40mph limit on the A27. It was decontrolled back in the 70’s, when that closure was implemented….

A significant event, but events like this on our motorways are becoming a daily occurrence it seems. travelling anywhere by car during “rush” hour is a scary, frustrating and time consuming affair. One that is only going to get worse without a radical rethink on travel policy especially in light of all the additional housing being built in eastleigh. Our roads cannot cope now god knows what they will be like once the developers have their way.

seems quite lightweight… Eastleigh decides whether to have jam or honey on their toast….. I’m having both ! , if it’s not broadcast why not put the whole interview with mark latham online , the electorate might hear about some of the complexities of the ‘issues’
